I have a scene where a character is shot in the shoulder.
He is shot by a soldier. I'm not sure what kind of rifle a soldier carries or if that is going to affect question 1.
1. Would the bullet likely be lodged in the shoulder or would it go straight through?
2. Would the guy be able to speak through the pain?*
3. Would he be able to crawl on his hands and knees (he might need to do that and if not, than I'll have to re-jig things)
4. Would he be able to walk? Well, I guess with this one I'm wondering how much the injury would slow him down.
5. Would he be bleeding profusely?
*I showed this scene to my father-in-law and he said the guy would not be able to say the line of dialogue, "I let him go" because he'd be in too much pain.
What do people think?
Sorry for the dumb questions; I really have no idea.
